Product: The Sims 4
Platform: PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? 100% (in this save)
What is your current game version number? 1.94.147.1030
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Everything except Bust the Dust
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Try to fish in a pond you've made with terrain tools on your residential lot.
What happens when the bug occurs? Even though the pond sign (which is sitting in the water) has fish "stocked", when I attempt to have the Sim fish, the "fish" or "fish with bait" are greyed out, with the message saying that the pond needs to be stocked. I'm playing on a lot which I usually use for PlantSims and I've never had this problem before.
What do you expect to see? She should be able to fish.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? No. It's a new save without any mods or CC playing the PlantSim scenario.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Because of the new January 17th, 2023 patch, I'm playing completely without mods or CC in a brand-new save.

So yeah.. How is this supposed to work? I went all RTFM and actually took a look at the tutorial about ponds and it turns out that my pond that I was testing was indeed shallow so I assume fishing should work in it. The heat map showed my whole pond as green (or whatever you want to call that colour that indicates water depth being shallow) and I've tried moving the sign in different places in it but it just won't work.
With this few reports on it I wasn't sure if it's an actual bug or is it just me not knowing how to build it properly but what I can tell from the instructions from the tutorial, I did build it correctly. Yet I can't fish in it.
